F5 tornado wipes out Dallas - but only on the big screen at Studio Movie Grill on June 4 (we hope)
Well, this should be interesting.
The Studio Movie Grill (Royal at Central location) will premiere a "what if"-type film showing an F5 tornado making a direct hit on Dallas (they refer to it as "the metroplex," but we're probably talking Dallas) on Thursday night at 6 p.m., 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. The screenings will be free (first come, first seated).
Perhaps we could explore alternatives for the destruction of Big D. That tornado thing is SO old hat.
Following the Thursday night premiere, the film can be streamed on the web from YouTube, and accessed from the Red Cross site at www.redcrossdallas.org/F5 (a currently inactive page).
Tim Marshall, a local storm chaser, supplied the actual F5 footage used to make the film; the Southwest Community of Motion Picture Artists did the production, using an all-volunteer cast and crew.
[But wait - haven't I already seen this? When it comes to a big storm destroying Big D, I suppose once is simply not enough.]
Here are complete details from the Red Cross (Dallas area chapter) website.
